Thank you for reading!

The next thing Jake knew was his breath coming in gasps. The blizzard had passed, and the stars in the darkening sky gaped at him.  He sat up, dusting a thin layer of ice off his suit. How long had he been unconscious? The unfamiliar peaks turned vivid red in the fading light, and he brought his knees up to his chest, shivering.

Jake’s vi…[Read more]

A metallic clank crashed Jake into consciousness. He stared at the dark ceiling, where was he? Then he recalled the fight with the thrid, and a shudder went down his spine… had the HSI found him after he failed? What would they do to him now? As he tried to turn his head he froze and cringed, waiting for the pain in his neck to subside. The s…[Read more]

13: what is this short story missing, if anything?

14: can you all think of any other name for a creature than thrid or is thrid fine?

15: Am I showing instead of telling?

16:Do any scenes drag?

Thank you for reading this! (Every time there’s a seperate post there’s a ***  scene break in the original text) this story has also been polished…[Read more]

Gone.
Just like that…gone.
And Alessio didn’t know what to do then. He didn’t move he hardly even breathed, staring at the place his friend had been. In the blink of an instant it was as if he never even was there, only a figment of his imagination. Could something so important really vanish out of your life in just that fast? Of course…of course,…[Read more]

LOL YES!!! Too much chaos together!!!

Yes and yes!

Aw thanks!

Yes indeedie so in character!

Aww Sasha does need a hug! *also, I need to see what happens in your story for him!!!*
Thanks, I’ve really enjoyed this story (and these characters I LOVE working with these characters!). Yep, trippy reality bending deal pretty much sums it &…[Read more]

I’M GOING TO TRY AND STAY BACK THIS TIME.

Her head felt like it was going to implode and Lupa squeezed her eyes closed, waiting for the feeling, the rushing, the MADNESS to leave her alone.

Things fell still and she sucked in a breath of stale air. Her ears were greeted by a groaning noise of creatures–animals. She opened her eyes and took in…[Read more]

Test

A short, slight man slips in and leans against a wall. Shadows hide his face and most of his body try as he might to hide it, his left pantleg is empty, swaying in the draft from the tiny window above.

[hi guys, I have no idea how to enter the castle,  but here I am. Please tell me if I’m doing something wrong.]

@noah-cochran

Hmm, this was a very interesting read. Just to make sure I understood it correctly, I’m going to summarize your statement as “The term magic as used to describe special abilities in an alternate world is overused and often deceptive as it can be confused with real magic.”

Hard agree on that one. Personally, I have often decided not…[Read more]

I think we’ll have to agree to disagree on this point. I don’t believe it’s anti-biblical to portray a fact of the world, be it physical or spiritual, so long as it’s done with biblical truth in mind and with care not to mislead readers.

Fair enough.

Tolkien is differentiating between Fantasy and Enchantment, which characterize a Secondary…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien
Oooh nice!! (Just read your results from the character quiz haha)

And yes. Coffee is… *chefs’ kiss *

ALSO HOW’VE Y’ALL BEEN @everyone ???

Gosh I’ve missed this so much… :(((

I need to try to find time to at least go read some of what’s been happening over there…

@obrian-of-the-surface-world

I feel so bad that I just saw this now. I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending love and kind thoughts to you and your family <3

@joelle-stone

THANK YOU NOAH

Joelle, I loved reading this, it made my day. 🙂 I’m glad we agree, we need to complain to each other about it sometime. 🙂 xD

@olivia

Thanks for the reply Olivia! I’m glad you were able to see the clear differences through my mess of a post. xD

However. As it currently stands, the word “magic” is jus…

@noah-cochran I may have found your word.

“Enchantment produces a Secondary World, into which both designer and spectator can enter, to the satisfaction of their senses while they are inside; but in its purity it is artistic in desire and purpose. Magic produces, or pretends to produce, an alteration in the Primary World. It does not matter by w…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

I was just randomly thinking about how much my character Gavril would like Lorcan XD I don’t know why, I just think they’d have a glorious time talking about swords and stuff XD He’s nice enough to allow Lorcan’s ego to remain unscathed and I think they’d actually get along really well.

And I know what you’re thinking bu…
